Fashion's Night Out will be celebrated with shows and special events. Here, Ashley LeRoy at Neiman Marcus in Cherry Creek Shopping Center for FNO Sept. 10, 2010.

Fashion’s Night Out will be celebrated tonight in shopping malls in cities from coast to coast, with Colorado shows scheduled for Aspen to Boulder, Denver to the suburbs.
The event, which started three years ago in New York to jumpstart a weakened retail scene, has spread to 100 cities.
“The timing is perfect, with the fall season and back-to-school shopping,” says Brittin Karaffa, marketing manager at Park Meadows in Lone Tree. “We felt it makes sense to do an event for our customers to come out for.”
More than 60 stores and restaurants at Park Meadows are participating, and the center is creating “closets” for shoppers to visit to experiment with various style personas. Stylists from Fashion Group International of Denver will be doing makeovers. The shopping center is also setting up perfume bars in conjunction with Dillard’s and Sephora; there will be live music performances and a runway where visitors can “strut on the runway and be judged on their own style to win awards,” Karaffa says.
At Cherry Creek Shopping Center, Neiman Marcus will for the third year be staging a trend show at 6:45 p.m. for Fashion’s Night Out. Male and female models will wear designer looks from such industry leaders as Dolce & Gabbana and Carolina Herrera. Refreshments, beauty makeovers and entertainment are also part of the event, which runs until 9 p.m. A dozen additional stores throughout the center will be offering discounts, promotions and personal shoppers.
Southlands Shopping Center in Aurora is hosting a shopping event and in downtown Boulder, merchants will present a fashion show at 6 p.m. in the 1300 block of the Pearl Street Mall. After the show, two dozen retailers will have in-store special events.
